Vij’s Railway Express hit the streets of Vancouver in summer 2012, providing customers with delicious, freshly-cooked Indian food with a unique Vij’s twist. Since then, the truck has garnered a huge fan base, with line-ups the order of the day as soon as the team arrives on location. Twitter followers find out daily where the truck is headed – whether to its regular location on downtown Vancouver’s Georgia Street, or visiting a new set of customers anywhere in the city. Vij’s Railway Express has featured on the Food Network’s Eat Street and numerous other tv shows. The truck has also expanded into catering private events, parties and even weddings, so the Vij’s experience isn’t just happening on the street or at his restaurants – the team will bring it to you!

“We see the reaction to our food from customers every day on the street, but it’s amazing to see those people went out of their way to vote for us,” says Jason Apple from Gourmet Syndicate, the company behind the day-to-day running of (and cooking at!) the truck and bringing Vikram’s vision to life. “We want to thank everyone for their support and we hope to encourage more people to try us out in the future!”
